Helpful Tips
Download Digicel MonCash before you land. Pay moto-taxis without fumbling for bills. The app works almost everywhere in Port-au-Prince. Drivers expect it. Keep small change anyway.
Look for 'PAP-Centrale' on the windshield. Tap-taps bound downtown show it clearly. Stand roadside, raise a hand, hop aboard. Pay when you exit. Simple.
Caribe Tours sits on Delmas 31. Reserve early for the air-conditioned coach to Santo Domingo. Seats fill fast on weekends. Arrive thirty minutes ahead.
For short hops, moto taxis rule. They cost about half what car taxis charge. Petionville to downtown takes ten minutes. Negotiate before you climb on.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unofficial porters at Toussaint Louverture International Airport often insist on carrying bags for a short walk to the taxi rank, then demand inflated tips in Haitian gourdes or US dollars. Firmly decline or agree on a small amount in advance.
Taxi touts inside the terminal quote prices several times the standard rate, claiming official taxis are unavailable or unsafe. Walk past them to the official taxi queue outside or use the airport's prepaid taxi booth.
Currency-exchange hustlers near baggage claim offer rates far below bank rates and may short-change confused arrivals. Use the airport bank counters or ATMs instead and count any cash received immediately.
